Policy Brief: Protecting Endangered Species

[Pam Chasek]

It's World Wildlife Day (3 March) and we are commemorating it with a new policy brief. 

As always, you can see all of our briefs at: https://www.iisd.org/projects/still-only-one-earth-lessons-50-years-un-sustainable-development-policy

Also, UNEA has adopted two resolutions of particular interest to this group:

1) setting up an intergovernmental negotiating committee for a treaty on plastics

2) setting up the process to establish a science-policy body on chemicals and wastes

More details will be in the ENB summary that will be published on Monday. https://enb.iisd.org/unea5-oecpr5-unep50

Finally, one last bit of self-promotion. Yesterday (2 March) was the 30th birthday of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin. https://enb.iisd.org/articles/environmental-reporting-team-marks-30-years-key-negotiations-approach

Thanks,

Pam

Protecting Endangered Species Despite continued conservation efforts, the status of many endangered species remains unchanged. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) are the primary treaties tasked with protection of endangered species. The latest Still Only One Earth policy brief explores how, moving forward, species conservation efforts should expand to include lesser known species that serve important ecosystem services.  Read the brief       Share    Tweet    Share    Forward  International Institute for Sustainable Development Unsubscribe
